Need help with wing marking on Rector's P-40E

Thanks thats a big help, and a very interesting read.  The part about insignias not being painted over really was something new to me.  But since this plane would have had Chinese Suns first I'm still going to simulate the paint over effect.

I knew the Tigers were disbanded in July. However, I've seen at least 2 other modelers do this particular plane with the Blue Fuselage Stripe for the 76th FS yet they model it carrying the Suns.  If the plane actually flew like that in the begining of the 23rd I'd love to model it to add a bit of originality.  Common sense tells me if they had time to paint the Blue 76th bands, then the would have also applied the US insignias.

I just couldn't/can't find a picture of this planes wings, but until I find one to prove otherwise though, I think I'm just going to go with the US insignias.

I guess I just love the AVG P-40's with the Suns, and if I could find a way to accurately sneak them on a 23rd FS I'd jump on it.  

Wikipedia and Google Images are your friend.  The Tigers disbanded on July 4, 1942 so after that date those aircraft became US property.  Those P-40's are probably E-1's which are export models for the RAF of which some were taken back by the AAF.  Here are two sites that might be of interest to you for reference:
